Age: The saying you can’t teach an old dog new trick might not be practical but the fact holds; an older dog is a nightmare to train. This is the case because their alleged bad habits tend to stick with them longer than a puppy. Well the solution here is to start when they are still puppies preferentially when they are first able to walk on their own.
Training session: Always reward you dog when he accomplishes your training expectations. This would be done best by identifying what kinds of treats your dog responds to the most. If they prefer the bone over the meaty treat, then cut one into little pieces only during the training process. Reward them and continue training.
Stick to a set of words each time you prepare for the training session or when you prepare them to go outside and while you accompany them to them on their walks. Patience too is a factor. You don’t expect results from your dog in seconds and make sure you go slow on them. When they are doing their business it may make them uncomfortable but praise them and at least name what they are doing with a happy tone I your voice. Remember they too have instincts.
Who wouldn’t want to be recognized for doing something goo and reprimanded when they’ve done something wrong? Remember they’ve got instincts too. You now understand what I am trying to drive home here. It makes the learning process run rather smoother. Don’t ever doubt what your dog is capable of doing. They are smarter than we think!
The signs: At this point I guess we are making a lot of progress. Watch for the signs. Once your dog has gotten used to the daily routines of training or going outside, the will start showing signs such as pawning at your leg, staring at their leash or treat bags- Watching the door; scratching or laying by it. May be randomly barking or whimpering. Don’t ignore them because they might hit you with what you least expect. You know what I mean. The accident is just about to happen if they can’t hold it anymore.
If your dog is barking unnecessarily then you check the dog barking control device. For instance if a small dog is yipping all the time not only when it wants to go outside, then a small dog bark collar would just do you the best. Otherwise check the next post for how to stop your dog form barking.

Dog Behavior Training – How Much Does Professional Dog Training Cost?
Dogs can be very difficult animals to deal with from time to time, some breeds and types can be especially difficult to train and control. No mater how much time and effort you seem to be putting in, your efforts give no results.
Don’t worry too much about persistently training you dog, it might not be your fault your dog is disobedient, people in different circumstances may be failing to train their dog for very simple reasons, whether it be your tone of voice, not having enough time to give your dog due to other commitments like work or hobbies, or your children throwing all the basic dog training rules out the window. Here we will try to educate you on the difference a professional dog trainer could have on your dog’s obedience, and how much it will cost.
The options available for dog training
Group dog training sessions locally - four to eight weekly 1 hour sessions for around $40 - $130 (£20 - £70).
Private dog trainers visiting your home or work place to give personal training to your dog for around $25 - $110 (£13 - £55) per hour.
Dog boarding kennel where your dog lives with the trainer for around 2 – 4 weeks getting many hours of professional dog behaviour training a day for around $1000 – $2,500(£550 – £1,300).
What you get for your money
So what do you get for your money? Many dog trainers concentrate on different areas of your dog’s obedience and you will usually get a much better service for the more money you pay. Standard training classes and trainers will concentrate on addressing the chewing, barking, biting and digging aspects of your dog’s behavior. Hand signals may also be covered in dog obedience classes along with showing you, the owner how to handle trickier situations that can only be over come at home like housetraining.
General guidelines for hiring a dog trainer are to always research the dog trainer well, find out qualifications the dog trainer has in his area of expertise and seek advice and information for other dog owners who have had their dogs trained
previously. Get to know your trainer well before handing your dog over to him/her and make sure you are comfortable in the methods he/she uses.

Importance of Dog Training
I bought a German shepherd back in 2000 when it was around barely three months old. I am obsessed with this kind of breed. They look big and sexy in appearance. Well I also envy my neighbors who own the tricky and tactical rotuela. I hated to see my pet get into trouble with neighbors. Every time I heard them scorn at ‘sassy’ I knew he was in shit. One time ‘sassy’ made the neighbors cat to spend the night on a tree after the cat gave it the rare challenge of mounting a tree. It was time to learn some manners. I couldn’t keep up with its habit, he was becoming a nuisance. I ventured into dog training and this is what I pulled out.
If you thought dog training is about subduing your dog to follow every whim, you missed it; it is about communication. Regardless of your purpose for owning a dog, be it for company or for protection, you should train your dog so that you will not have any behavioral problems with it in the future. Dog training will turn your frisky puppy to a more docile dog that will obey your command and stay away from trouble.
Regardless of your lifestyle or the breed of your dog, training is highly recommended. The saying that goes you cant teach an old dog new tricks perfectly holds and the advice sent forth is that start training your dog while still a puppy. This is because older dogs are more difficult to train. Sometimes, different dog breeds may require different dog training techniques. For instance, you can't use the same technique to train a large Great Dane and tiny Chihuahua neither my German shepherd.
Dog training starts with simple “obedience training”. First, your puppy must recognize his name and be responding to it every time you call it out. You can then start to train him to come to you whenever you call him. Use the verbal commands come and here when you are calling him. Then you can start introducing some other techniques such as the sit command. You should start with the simple commands first and gradually advance to more complicated commands.
The importance of training your dog is to have a disciplined and docile companion who can follow simple commands and keep away from trouble such as destroying your neighbors flower patch. A trained dog will simply not run off to chase a cat and will not be aggressive to other pets, children and adults. Also, the goal of dog training is to make your dog safer, not only to you and your family, but also to everyone in your neighborhood. This is especially important if you have a large dog that can be capable of damage or injury. You should keep in mind that you’re not dealing with a robot. Dog training is not easy. You have to possess patience and perseverance to be always consistent in your commands so that your dog will learn faster and more effectively. You should also respect your dog after all you chose him and he didn't choose you. You should treat him right in the first place, because if you don't you will end up with an unhappy dog who will likely run away from you and be quite difficult to train. I hope you’re getting the concept.
If you’re truly determined to train your dog personally, I highly recommend this because it builds a personal relationship or let me call it a bond with your dog, there are plenty of resource material on dog training in many books, manuals, pamphlets and others. It may be helpful to get some information about dog training even before you get a puppy. Some pet shops will offer dog obedience training either for free or for a fee. Just make sure its in relevance to the requirements of your dogs breed. A professional dog trainer may also be hired to assist you training your beloved pet.
